Popis: | Random copolymers of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) and 4-hydroxybutyrate (4HB) with a wide range of compositions varying from 0 to 83 mol% 4HB were produced by Alcaligenes latus from the mixed carbon substrates of 3-hydroxybutyric and 4-hydroxybutyric acids. The structure and physical properties of P(3HB-co-4HB) were characterized by1H and13C NMR spectroscopy, gel-permeation chromatography, and differential scanning calorimetry. The isothermal radial growth rates of spherulites of P(3HB-co-4HB) were much slower than the rate of P(3HB) homopolymer. The enzymatic degradation rates of P(3HB-co-4HB) films by a PHB depolymerase were strongly influenced by the copolymer composition. |
